ASHRAE Technology Award: Energy Savings for Senior Care Center PDF

Senior care residences tend to be among the highest energy consumers largely due to the elevated rates of outdoor air and ventilation that they require to ensure the health and comfort of occupants. The Notre-Dame of St. Rosary Convent in Rimouski, QC, Canada, required a sizeable expansion to reflect its growing role as a senior care center and residence. The energy-efficient HVAC design saves the convent more than $100,000 annually.
